About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if the use of an audiovisual animated video, describing the gynecological procedure (hysteroscopy) the patient is about to undergo, will help to reduce the patient's level of anxiety, affect her anesthesia parameters and increase their overall satisfaction from the procedure.
Our hypothesis is that patient who will watch the video (intervention group) will experience less anxiety, will have lower heart rate and lower blood pressure during the procedure, and have overall more satisfaction with the procedure, compared to patients who will not watch the preoperative video (control group).
Patients will be asked to rate their anxiety level before the procedure and their satisfaction afterwards.
